Chanel Arancio Vibrante: Review & Swatches

This striking orange red nail polish, Chanel 634 Arancio Vibrante is the epitome of spring! Think hot orange red May sunsets and blooming fields… It’s the 4th and the last nail colour from the new collection, which is also the only bright colour in the palette. That’s why I chose it to be the final installment in my Chanel Spring 2018 series.

Arancio Vibrante means Vibrant Orange, which describes the colour accurately. In direct sunlight, it looks bright orange. However, in shade this lacquer looks fire red. For that reason, I think this orange red nail polish is perfect for spring – orange by day, red by night. Chanel Arancio Vibrante is quite different from other colours in the Napoli collection and not just because of it’s unusual vibrant colour…

To find what sets it apart from the other Chanel spring lacquers read my review below!

REVIEW:

Formula: Chanel Arancio Vibrante has the new generation Chanel Gel polish formula which is very glossy, fast drying and long-lasting. It’s 5-free and cruelty free. The polish is very pigmented! You can easily get away with just 1 coat. I applied 2 layers, however, just because I’m a bit of perfectionist.

Application: It’s very easy to apply, the formulation is perfect. The nail polish dries very quickly and yields in a perfectly smooth coverage.

Finish/Colour: Chanel Arancio Vibrante is a very bright orange red in a classic jelly finish. It’s way more pigmented than the usual jelly polishes.

Nail Art: This polish is very pigmented and is suitable for any kind of nail art. You’ll see one next week!

Wearability: Very long-lasting, it lasted 6 days with a top coat.

Dupes:there are no dupes for Arancio Vibrante in my collection. It may seem like you already have a red like this in your stash, but after comparing all my reds, corals and oranges I found nothing like this orange red jelly nail colour in my stash. The closest colours are the jelly red OPI To The Mouse House We Go and the very orange red cream OPI A Red-Vival City.

I may post a detailed colour and dupe comparison for the entire Napoli collection next week. If you’re interested…

Extra Notes: I found that pigmented orange red nail polishes tend to stain nails. I can’t comment if it’s the case for Chanel Arancio Vibrante, as I wore Mavala Barrier Base coat underneath it. If you want to avoid staining your nails, I highly recommend you do the same.

Overall Impression: Usually I tend to skip reds but Arancio Vibrante but such a beautiful and unusual orange red nail polish that I made an exception. The formulation is fantastic and the vibrant colour suits almost any skin tone. So if you’re looking for a new bright nail polish, try Arancio Vibrante. You’ll love it!
